The House Is Dark And My Pots Are Cold

I think my blog is a little bit like soup. In the kitchen, I can take almost anything and make a soup out of it. A handful of leftover beans, a scrap of meat, a few carrots and stalks of celery and a can of tomatoes. And here, on the blog, I can usually take a few thoughts about chickens or the weather or heartache or grandchildren or relationships and I can make a post out of them.
Both the making of soup and the making of a post are therapeutic for me. They are deeply satisfying activities.

But today I just don't have it. I have just as many ingredients at my disposal as ever and yet, my hand does not reach for the cutting board and knife, my mind does not reach for the words and the phrases.

Well, in this case, no one will go hungry.

  1. I've been reading your blog for sometime. I'm up to December, 2011!
    We've never met but I know that I love the person you are. When I read that "ponder" is one of your favorite words, i figured that you really are my long lost sister. So I will continue reading and enjoying. By the way, if you ever tire of Mr. Moon please UPS him to me!

  2. Some days are like that I guess. I would not be surprised though if something happens during this day that gives you that push to tell about about it.

    Looking forward to your return.

  7. Ms. Kris- Hello and how nice of you to stop by and to read and to comment. As to the Mr. Moon thing- get in line. There's a sign-up sheet over there by the door.

    Ms. Fleur- As you will see, of course you were right.

    Angella- Honey. Love. You.

    Nancy- I am agreeing with you on that one.

    Jill- As I said in my post after this one, strange but not bad.

    Denise- I never think to repost one. I have no idea why. Thanks for reminding me of that option. I'll probably do it soon.
